COLORFUL FUN RUN AT THE WATSONS SUN WARRIOR CHALLENGE

6:25 PM

The most colorful and
vibrant fun run in Manila recently broke world records with 5,275 runners who
all applied sun screen simultaneously before running the 3k, 5k, and 10k routes
with exciting obstacles under the scorching sun. The Watsons Sun Warrior Challenge in partnership with Color Manila was
held recently at the SM Mall of Asia Grounds

Watsons
Sun Warrior ambassadors Yassi Pressman and Dominique Roque led the way to be a Sun Warrior and pledged to be
bold, brave, and always sun-protected. Other Sun Warrior guests include
triathlete Kim Atienza and TV host Karylle Tatlonghari-Yuzon who also
bravely took the challenge: keeping skin protected under the sun, running the
3k route and obstacles, and dancing and partying with colors during the sunny
Sunday morning.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is the major
cause of skin cancer. Exposure of skin under the sun is pummeled by invisible
rays that can cause your skin to darken and burn. But the good news is that you
can reduce risk of getting skin cancer by protecting yourself from the sun’s UV
rays. Protecting your skin from it does not mean you have to stay indoors all
the time, because being a Sun Warrior means anyone can still enjoy outdoors under
the sun.

“A
SunWarrior, to me, is someone who is unafraid to go under the sun, enjoy the
outdoors, and just have fun,” says resident Sun Warrior Yassi Pressman.

“For me a Sun Warrior is someone who is not afraid to try
out new adventures with friends, family, and someone who is just game for everything,”
add Dominique Roque.

How does one become a Sun Warrior like Yassi and
Dominique? Here are three exciting ways
from Watsons.

• Make sure to
reapply sunscreen to get that full sun protection. Just remember that while
sunscreen can protect you from the sun’s harmful UV rays, a lot of its active
ingredients can break down over time.
